Gluten Free Gingerbread Men

Posted: December 21, 2016 by Renée Altman

I loved making gingerbread men (or women) when I was young! It was more of an experience rolling out the dough, using the cookie cutters and of course decorating with icing and all the different kinds of candies!

Here I have created a gluten free and dairy free version for those who are celiac or an allergy!

Gluten Free Gingerbread Men and Women

Recipe

Yields 12-16 cookies | Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend

1/2 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons molasses

Method

Set oven to 350F. Mix egg, coconut sugar, coconut oil and molasses in a bowl.

Add remaining ingredients and mix until a dough ball forms.

Sprinkle flour on the counter so the dough won’t stick. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough until 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out the gingerbread and place on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Smaller cookies will take 8 minutes, larger will take 10 minutes, watch so they do not burn .
